More importatnly they encouraged us to imagine the wonderful environments
similar to the ones pictured in the catalogs. Those sets were actually
fairly simple, coarse interpretations of what they were. They had
just enough detail to switch on that little part in the back of your
mind that filled in between the bricks and actually made it "feel"
like a main street or a town house. Your coucious mind knew you were
looking at a bunch of plastic parts, but your unconcious mind was busy
re-creating the scene a hundred times over to understand what it would
be like to experience it for real, and to take pride in having created
something so neat.
